Nothing ruins a great day in the outdoors quite like getting attacked by hordes of insects. But unless you fancy the idea of spraying chemicals all over your body, you’ve just got to suck it up right?
Wrong.

With this guide, discover how you can create your own healthy, kid-friendly bug spray that will protect you from insects and the harmful effects of commercial bug sprays.
You’ll need the following:

DIY Non-Toxic Bug Spray

To make bug spray, you’ll want to get two spray bottles and pour an equal amount of witch hazel into each – split it in half, to be exact. Once you’ve done this, do the same for each of the other oils, splitting the quantities in half between the two bottles.

And that’s it! See? No harsh chemicals or strange processes.

What’s great about this bug spray is that it doesn’t have the harsh smell that traditional bug sprays carry. It also doesn’t feel sticky on your skin.

So there you go! Enjoy the great outdoors without worrying about being eaten alive or bathing yourself in chemicals.

Summer is here, and that means watermelon is the official fruit most people will grab to chill off from the heat. But before you dive into the melon and ditch the seeds – or have competitions spitting them the farthest, read on to discover how the least popular part of the fruit may actually be the most nutritious.

Watermelon flesh might by super hydrating and high in antioxidants, but the seeds – which many are quick to discard – consist of nutrients like fatty acids, essential proteins, minerals like magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, zinc, phosphorus, and are full of B vitamins.

Perhaps most importantly, the seeds have citrulline substance, which acts as an antioxidant. It promotes the expansion of blood vessels, therefore, wards off arteriosclerosis, hypertension, angina and erectile dysfunction.

Watermelon seeds literally are ‘food medicine’.

There are a few ways to use the seeds, and they follow:

Treat diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract by drinking a tea from the seeds (recipe below). This helps remove stones and sand in the kidneys.

In America alone, 3 million people are affected by epilepsy and seizures, and every year brings about 200,000 additional cases. According to a study published in 2013, premature death is eleven times more common among epilepsy patients or even greater if a mental disorder is also diagnosed. In some cases, modern medicine can pinpoint the cause of the seizures and even correct it.

At Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora, Colorado, Amylea Nunez, a 2-month-old old baby from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is making history. “She has a rare form of epilepsy,”Amylea’s mother, Nicole Nunez said. “They don’t know exactly the type.” And her doctors don’t know the cause.

Amylea began having seizures a few days after her birth. “About a day after we went home from delivery. Her heart stopped twice on us, and that was probably the hardest part on us,” Amylea’s mother, Nicole Nunez, said.

As doctors tried all kinds of medications on young Amylea, she continued to suffer from seizures. While her mother spent all of her time by her side, Ernie ran back and forth between the hospital and their home in Albuquerque. The medication prescribed to Amylea was known to be especially taxing on her frail two-month-old liver, so her parents were determined to find a better treatment.

It seemed that, at this point, doctors could do nothing more than stand helplessly and watch Amylea’s condition worsen. It was up to Nicole to do the research and come up with an alternative.

Once Nicole started looking for natural remedies for epilepsy, she came across the cannabis oil known as Charlotte’s Web. This miraculous strain of cannabis was named after an American girl who suffered from Dravet syndrome as a baby. Her name was Charlotte Figi, and she too was experiencing severe epilepsy like Amylea. By the time she was three, Charlotte was seriously disabled. In spite of treatment, she was experiencing approximately 300 seizures every week.

Nicole Nunez saw hope in Charlotte’s story and immediately proposed this alternative treatment to Amylea’s doctors. For weeks, they refused to proceed with the treatment. Earlier in February, however, the doctors finally agreed to Nicole’s solution and the parents began treating their daughter with Charlotte’s Web. After only two doses, both Amylea’s parents and her doctors could notice the difference. The oil had worked.

Amylea was the first and youngest patient to ever receive this treatment at the hospital. She is now part of a case study that will analyze the effectiveness and possible future use of Charlotte’s Web in the treatment of infants suffering from epilepsy. Meanwhile, the Realm of Caring Foundation was organized by a group of growers called the Stanley Brothers. They provide access to a cheaper hybrid strain between medical cannabis and hemp that has demonstrated the same low-THC, high-CBD content.

If nothing else, Amylea’s story is a glimmer of hope for those infants struggling with epilepsy and the ineffectiveness of conventional medicine.

First it was Fast Food Nation. Now it’s Diabetic Nation. That’s because fast food leads to diabetes, and America is now drowning in both. A new report by the CDC says that by 2050, nearly one-third of American adults will be diabetic.

It’s a windfall of profits for the drug companies, diabetic supply companies and the sick care industry in general. Perhaps that’s why no one is taking any real action to halt the anticipated explosion in diabetes. The more people who get sick, after all, the more money will be spent on medical treatment. (It’s good for the economy, they say!)

But solutions to diabetes exist right now. I’ve personally interviewed patients who were cured of type-2 diabetes in as little as four days at Dr Gabriel Cousens’ Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center near Tucson, Arizona (www.TreeOfLife.nu). My own book entitled How to Halt Diabetes in 25 Days has helped thousands of people prevent and even reverse diabetes in under a month. (http://www.truthpublishing.com/haltdiabetes_…;)

As NaturalNews readers know, I used to be borderline diabetic myself, and I suffered from hypoglycemia and borderline obesity at the same time. But I was able to cure my own pre-diabetes condition by doing essentially two things: 1) Ignoring all doctors and conventional medicinal information, and 2) Teaching myself the principles of nutrition (through lots of reading).

Today, about a decade later, I remain fit, healthy and athletic. At age 41, I lift weights, swim, bicycle and exercise on a regular basis while carefully choosing foods that will prevent diabetes for a lifetime.

Here are my top five secrets for preventing (and even reversing) diabetes…;

My top secrets for preventing and reversing diabetes

Secret #1) Stop eating all refined sugars. This means giving up all foods made with HFCS (especially soda) or other refined sugars. If you find this step difficult, wean yourself off these foods day by day. It took me six months to finally end my sugar addiction for good. Sodas and HFCS have caused 130,000 cases of diabetes, by the way (http://www.naturalnews.com/028340_diabetes_s…;).

Secret #2) Ingest large quantities of daily superfoods. I consume at least two daily superfood smoothies made with spirulina, stabilized rice bran and high-density superfood powders such as Boku Superfood (www.BokuSuperfood.com) and Living Fuel (www.LivingFuel.com). I blend them with frozen organic fruit, coconut oil and almond milk. On top of that, I take daily chlorella, astaxanthin and various Chinese medicine herbs from www.DragonHerbs.com and other high quality nutritional suppliers.

Secret #3) Exercise a little bit every day. I exercise over 12 hours a week, but that’s more than you really need to prevent diabetes. Even just walking 30 minutes a day can have a huge impact on preventing diabetes. The key is to make it a daily activity.

Secret #4) Get sunshine or vitamin D. More than 70% of white Americans are vitamin D deficient. That number rises to 97% among African Americans (http://www.naturalnews.com/026657_Vitamin_D_…;). Latinos and Asians are at around 80% deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency promotes diabetes (and cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, immune suppression, and so on).

So if you really want to prevent diabetes, boost your vitamin D levels with either daily sunshine or quality vitamin D3 supplements. Vitamin D deficiency explains why diabetes is so rampant among African Americans, by the way. Did you notice that doctors don’t explain any of this to African American patients? It’s the dirty little racist secret of both the diabetes and cancer industries…;

Secret #5) Avoid all processed foods. Avoid eating refined anything. That includes white breads, processed meat (which strongly promotes diabetes) and dairy products. Switch from cow’s milk to almond milk (Blue Diamond brand is good, but I suggest you avoid the Silk brand). Reduce or eliminate cheese from your diet. If you eat meat, eat only fresh unprocessed meat, never eat processed packaged meat because it contains sodium nitrite, a chemical that destroys pancreas function. This means no pepperoni pizza, no ham and potato soup, no deli meat sandwiches and so on.

To the extent that you can do these five things, you can reverse diabetes yourself! Diabetes is not a difficult disease to prevent or reverse because it’s not really an affliction that “strikes” you randomly. It is merely the biological effect of following certain lifestyle (bad foods, no exercise) that can be reversed in virtually anyone, sometimes in just a few days.

I’ve even interviewed a type-1 diabetic who got completely off insulin by following a raw foods diet with daily vegetable juicing. Yes, type one! Read about my interview with Dr Cousens here: http://www.naturalnews.com/028341_diabetes_l…;

(This interview will rock your world if you don’t yet know that diabetes is easily curable!)

Diabetes is nearly 100% preventable. You won’t hear this from mainstream medicine — which ridiculously claims there is no cure for diabetes — because treating diabetics is just too darned profitable. Big Pharma is drooling over the profit potential of seeing one-third of Americans becoming diabetic by 2050. It will mean hundred of billions of dollars in annual profits.

But people are curing diabetes every day. It’s simple and straightforward, and when you cure diabetes, you greatly reduce your risk of heart disease, obesity and cancer at the same time. The thing is, no one will cure your diabetes for you. Sure, the drug companies want to “treat” you with diabetes drugs, but you have to keep taking those for a lifetime. They don’t cure anything. The only real cure can come from YOU — by changing what you eat and increasing your exercise.

And I urge you to get started today! Just 30 days from now, you could be off insulin, off diabetes drugs and back on track with a healthy life.

Editor’s note: Please work with a qualified naturopathic physician before engaging in any medication, dietary or exercise changes. They can help guide you toward the best results in a safe, effective way.

Cockroaches are one of the most resistant and notorious insects on the planet.

They have survived numerous world catastrophes and are known omnivores. Our households are known to suffer from cockroach invasions, and they are not as easy to get rid of as you may think.

Cockroaches have the habit of leaving traces over their stepping territory and this is how they find food and water. And also, this is a guide for other cockroaches to appear, as well.

They multiply with the speed of light and this is what makes them tricky to destroy. However, we present an easy way to get rid of them once and for all!

The Most Effective Cockroach Method

One of the most natural and cheapest ways to banish cockroaches is bay leaves. This simple but powerful herb will not kill the cockroaches but will push them away.

The secret is in its smell, which is intolerable to cockroaches. To protect yourselves from cockroach mania, place laurel branches everywhere around the house.

To boost the effect, put 10 bay leaves in the garden and the same in the kitchen. This will drive the cockroaches away and you will never face this problem again. You can also place the leaves around food- they are not toxic and safe for children.

The bay leaves in your garden will not only protect your plants and home, they are excellent for protecting your pets and kids as well.

For best effects, use fresh leaves, but dry ones work just as good. Also, you can crush leaves and form a powder- these release smell much more and you will definitely be safer.

]]>What Happens When You Eat 3 Whole Eggs Every Day? You’ll be Surprised What it Does to Your Body!http://www.behhfit.com/what-happens-when-you-eat-3-whole-eggs-every-day-youll-be-surprised-what-it-does-to-your-body/

Eggs are not the favorite food among researchers and nutritionists. This is because they are all convinced eggs contain high cholesterol, which harms the body.

This cannot be further from the truth. Eggs, just as coconut oil or avocados, are misinterpreted, but are in fact quite beneficial. As far as the cholesterol goes, eggs do not bring more of it to your body but replace on with the other.

Actually, the egg yolk offers plenty of nutrients and health benefits. Up to 90% of the egg’s calcium and iron are located in its yolk, which makes it totally healthy and recommended. On the other hand, the egg white offers some natural proteins, also significant for the human organism.

If you are still not convinced, read the top 10 eggs benefits and learn why eggs are, indeed, healthy:

Eggs boost the organism

This means, more energy, more activity and more everything. Just one medium-sized egg, contains 6g of high-quality protein and plenty of essential nutrients.

It does not contain vitamin C, though. So, for best results, always combine it with fruit or orange juice and whole-wheat/low GI bread. As breakfast, this may be the ideal combo.

Eggs increase the iron levels

The lack of iron in the system is often followed by tiredness, headaches and irritability. The iron has the role of carrying the oxygen to the blood, which makes it one important mineral.

Also, it encourages the immunity and takes care of the overall health. One egg yolk contains iron in the form of heme iron. This is the type of iron that absorbed all nutrients faster than any other kind of iron. Even experts assure that this iron absorbs more nutrients than iron supplements.

Eggs bring important nutrients to diet

Full of significant compounds, eggs are the product to consume all the time. People who avoid eggs are more likely to suffer Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B12 deficiency. Along with other nutrients, eggs bring in 10-20% of folate and 20-30% of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B12.

Eggs stabilize the cholesterol

Unfortunately, eggs were targeted as high cholesterol products (210mg per egg yolk). However, studies have compared the egg consumption with the coronary heart disease.

Other foods, high in fat, and particularly saturated and trans fatty acids do worst job for the body than an egg yolk would. So feel free to consume them regularly and feel the major benefits they bring along.

Eggs provide weight loss qualities

An eggs toast has 50% higher satiety index than any other breakfast you would choose. Starting the day off with eggs will boost the satiety in overweight people and encourage weight loss.

Eggs improve brain functions

Eggs contain a nutrient called choline, which is responsible for strengthening the brain and improving the memory. One egg gives about 28% of a pregnant woman’s choline requirement. So, being especially important for pregnant women and breastfeeding, eggs are a huge YES for you.

Eggs ameliorate the vision and prevent cataracts

According to doctors, if you increase your intake of eggs, spinach, and broccoli, you will reduce the chances for cataracts (up to a 20% decrease) and other vision problems.

It even deals with blindness in seniors (up to a 40% decrease). Full of antioxidants and nutrients, eggs give a solid content of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoid vitamins which take care of the eyesight. The carotenoids keep the eyes safe from sunlight exposure and decrease the risk for cataracts by up to 50%.

Eggs give out healthy protein

Proteins are essential to leading a healthy lifestyle and keeping diet on point. Normally, the human body uses the protein to build new and repair old muscle tissue.

Additionally amino acids represent the building blocks of protein. Nine of these amino acids have to come through diet so they keep the body safe. Eggs contain nine of these essential amino acids, which help the tissues regenerate and strengthen.

Note: egg, milk, meat and fish proteins are all proteins. Out of these four, eggs are the best choice. Eggs have a rating of 100. Unlike eggs, milk is rated at 93 and fish and beef at 75. If you eat just one medium-sized egg you will make up for protein, just as if you ate 30g cooked meat, fish or poultry?

Eggs improve bone structure

Another vitamin in eggs is vitamin D. This one is very significant for absorbing calcium and preserving the bones. Therefore, eggs can reduce symptoms of osteoporosis and the same is true for dairy products.

Eggs take care of the hair and nails

The hair and nails are the first body parts which show lack of a vitamin or mineral. By consuming eggs you will provide both with high content of Sulfur, amino acids and the plenty of vitamins and minerals.

People have said that by consuming eggs they improved the structure of their hair and nails- this is achieved by eating eggs and other products high in zinc, Sulfur, vitamin B12 and vitamin A.

Just like everything else, the consumption with eggs should also be moderate. Only 2 to 3 eggs per day are enough to get the desired results and improve your quality of life.
